I don’t think he would make a good bigfoot either but I recall Colonel Fawcetts encounter, (In one of Sanderson’s books I believe).

Those definitely seemed to be people but they were hairy.

Can a legend derive from just one isolated incident?

Hyperpilocity (is that the term??) is an EXTREMELY rare condition, about 1 in a billion I heard (can’t recall where I read this).

The title and brief blurp about feral people reminded me of the X Files looking for the New Jersey Devil where it turned out to be a woman. I had a roommate that was almost as hairy. It was scary. Was his mother abducted by an Almas or Wild Man of China? For a Chinese person to be that hairy, it’s amazing. The Chinese are almost as hairless as the Native Americans–connection? I wonder. Let him run. There shouldn’t be any shame (which is what would make the Chinese government decide not to let him run) in letting the world see a hairy Chinese person, especially a man. If he was a she, I could see their reasoning in saying no.

I seem to recall that he’s of average Chinese height, making it unlikely that someone could mistake him for a massive, 800-pound primate. Now, if Bao Xishun (World’s Tallest Man) and Yu Zhenhuan had a love child, then we might be onto something…

Could his hair catch on fire?

I think it’d be interesting to see what would happen if that guy ran around campgrounds in a fur-covered Speedo. It’d be a good way to test how well people are at reporting details, size estimates, etc.

Hair alone doth not a bigfoot make. The sheer size, massive muscularity and strength, the sometimes overwhelming odor, the peculiar sounds, animal like actions and features-could this be accounted for by merely some extra hair? It all goes back to what has been discussed on previous threads; on the whole, how reliable is eyewitness testimony-re: a squatch or a giant bird? Oh-and this guy doesn’t look like an otter either. Of course, if he decided to go out for a swim…

Why shouldn’t he be able to run? Looks like he’s in pretty good shape to me. As far as mistaking this guy for the Big Guy, possible but doubtful. He doesn’t have the body mass. I think even juvenile Bigfoot would make this guy look small. But if it was dark and at a distance, I could see someone mistaking him for the Big Ones.

Funny how he would nickname himself that. I mean, it shows that he doesnt mind too much and he is willing to joke about it, right?

Very strange. He actually looks like the subject in the Patterson-Gimlin footage, particularly in the face.
